Episode Quotes

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: We should start with the more recent remains.
Dr. Camille Saroyan: Which are sealed up. What is it with this job and corpses encased in mystery wrap?

Dr. Clark Edison: Dr. Brennan wants me to identify the best solvent to remove polystren from the bones. So I put myself in the mindset of Dr. Hodgins and came up with this experiment.
Dr. Camille Saroyan: I have a new appreciation for Dr. Hodgins.

Angela Montenegro: It was like we were both playing chicken and then we - we both swerved.
Dr. Jack Hodgins: What we should've done is crashed right into each other.
Angela Montenegro: At the speed of light.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (factual errors): SPOILER: Angela and Hodgins' marriage was invalid under Maryland law, which mandates a license and a two day waiting period.
Goof (continuity error): When Clark is running his experiment to determine how to dissolve the polystyrene, he has six cups and six fluids - but when he explains the experiment to Cam, he only lists five (Kerosene, propylene, turpentine, hydrochloric acid and acetone)

Trivia

Angela's full name is stated to be Angela Pearly Gates Montenegro (as heard in a much earlier episode) - except that isn't her real name. Her eccentric father gave her a name so bad she is unwilling to say it out aloud.
